Looks Like WR @ 21 MIGHT Be The Move. If So, Who?

[Long suffering fan]

Personally I want a tackle who can take over from Armstead this season.
A WR can be had in the 2nd.
McDaniel propensity for speed makes Worthy stand out and we know Grier loves to help his Headcoach.

From what I have been seeing and reading, Legette seems to be the best scheme fit. Thomas would fill the need for sure, Worthy reminds me of Jakeem Grant- hard pass...

I haven’t seen any of these guys, so really have no opinion. Thus…no vote from me.

 

[Fin-Loco]

Of these guys, Brian Thomas Jr is the only one I'd consider
at 21.

Him and McConkey are the options at 21. Leggette is a real option at 55, though.

Added McConkey to the poll. Thanks!

I’m no college football expert, but if I had to pick one, I’d pick Thomes due to his LSU WR pedigree and the track record of LSU WRs in the NFL. .

 

[Fin-Loco]

If we draft a WR, this franchise is completely directionless.

Why? Think Tyreek Hill is ageless? He's either going to retire, get traded, or based on some of the wackiness that keeps happening to him, get arrested within the next two seasons. Adding in a strong WR that can compliment them both and fill in for either would be a monster move that would unlock this offense.

 

[Fin-Loco]

Think about this. Waddle and Hill were on the field together 40% of the time. Imagine plugging in a Brian Thomas...

Reciever depth is very good in the draft. Still want to trade back and pick up another mid-round pick or two. We have "bodies" to fill most of our holes, but we don't have long-term answers. We need draft picks to infuse our roster with lower cap implications and replace higher priced vets.

When has this strategy ever worked for the MD?

 

[dolphinheel]

We just picked up a DT starter in Tate yesterday. As the last month has gone by, we've been checking the need boxes. If you want to argue whether those players were right or wrong, go do it elsewhere. The point of this thread is that we might go WR at #21 in this very good WR draft. Hill is on the wrong side of 30 and we really need a solid WR #3 that can fill in for Waddle or Hill if needed. We'll probably still get a vet later in the year but if we go WR at #21, who do we want? @Danny, restrain yourself please from telling us about the O Line. That may be valid but not the point of this thread.

Xavier Lagette?

I would add Keon Coleman to the watch list

What the hell difference does that make? This is a new season.

 

[Virginia99]

Definitely not Worthy. Any of the other three in your list would be more deserving .

Yes. Worthy is going to get balled up at the line of scrimmage.

I voted for Thomas but after watching those Leggette highlights...? Is there any way we can get Leggette in the 2nd round? Prob. not unless they trade up. He may be Deebo Junior

TY for answering my question. Instead of trading down and reaching for a less talented player, take the BPA. That strategy actually works.

That's what I want. Use our slush fund of comp picks next year to get a third this year.

I was thinking the same thing but it's a long 34 picks between 21 and 55. I guess you could move back 4 or 5 spots and still get him and pick up another day two pick.
